We will continue our tour with the Moscow Metro. Initiated by Stalin in 1931, the Moscow Metro is acknowledged by everyone as the most beautiful metro in the world in terms of interior architecture and decoration, even when compared to the metros of New York, Paris, or London. Arbat Street, which runs through the center of Moscow, is a traffic-free street that everyone passing through the city visits at least once and enjoys walking from one end to the other. Here, you can browse colorful shop windows, taste the finest examples of Russian and world cuisine, sit in chic cafes that rival those of Paris, and most enjoyably, you can sit on a bench and watch the Russians who have immersed themselves in the flow of life. If you want to acquire a Moscow souvenir, this street is the right place. Then we will continue our tour by visiting Nazım Hikmet’s grave. We will leave our hotel for the visit to Novodevichy Convent (which also houses Nazım Hikmet’s grave). One of the most important monasteries in Russia, Novodevichy was founded in 1524 and has since been the place where many tsarina candidates have met their end. Despite Napoleon's order to destroy it in 1812, the nuns managed to prevent this decision. During the visit, we will visit Nazım Hikmet’s grave located within the monastery. After the tour, we will be transferred back to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
